Showing video on a TV is arguably the most important feature of a game console.

Note: I'm naming milestones after types of circles 💁

Must have:

  • MVP video device is designed and implemented in the simulator
  • Basic program which tests out the video device (e.g. a title screen, very basic gameplay)
  • A tool to encode tile data from images (and manage palettes)

Nice to have:

  • A tool to manage tile maps and sprite data
